Miracle Mile Page #4

to steal nothin', man.

Harry, that's awfully hard

to fathom at this time of night.

I know, I know.

It's impossible to believe,

but you got to do this.

You're only a couple blocks

away from them.

Just wake them up

and wait for me out front.

I'll be by there

in five minutes.

I'll give you twenty dollars

for some gas.

He said he'll give you

fifty dollars...

plus this twenty

if you give us some gas.

Don't shoot me,

all right, brother?

I got car stereos... I got

Pioneer, I got Nakamichi...

I got Sony, I got everything.

I got a Blaupunkt

that's never been used.

Maybe you want a CD, man.

You name it, I'll get it.

This guy's crazy. Just let us

get a little bit of gas...

and we'll be out of here.

We'll be gone.

What's the problem?

You want some gasoline? It's

gonna cost you fifty dollars.

Cash money.

No credit cards, man.

OK, there you go,

there's fifty dollars.

If you could just

start pumping, please...

we're in a real big hurry.

I don't pump gas, man.

You're gonna have

to pump that yourself.

Y'all got the guns, man.

OK, Julie, come on.

You've reached

the Peters household.

Please leave a message

at the sound of the beep.

Holy mother of God, man.

I'm gonna do five years

for this f***in' gun.

They'll give me ten years

for what's in my trunk.

Don't do nothing rash, man.

Drop your weapon, now!

You! Get down on the ground!

Now! Now!

Spread your arms and legs!

- Spread 'em!

- Spread 'em!

I work here. He's been

trying to rob me all week.

Bullshit! He's lying, officer.

You know you're lying, fool.

He's lying, officer.

I can prove it.

I got plenty of identification.

It's that guy's car.

Officer, I can explain.

Look in his trunk. He's got all

kinds of stolen stuff in there.

Keep your mouth shut!

Halt!

Carol!

Get away from the pumps, Carol!

Move away from the pumps!

Get in!

I had to do that

back there, man!

I had to, you understand, huh?

I had stolen stuff in my trunk.

I had tickets,

I had warrants, man.

I had to squirt them,

but they didn't have to shoot!

Explosion and/or related fire

reported on Pico.

Push the red button twice.

Hello. What are the latest

on the evacuation plans?

Please identify yourself.

This is Mr. Peters...

with the, uh, Atomic Energy

Commission.

What?

We have a Code Arthur situation.

Haven't you been informed?

We have nothing at all

at the headquarters, sir.

What's the source

of your information?

They don't even know yet.

Could you give us

your present location?

Is that what it is? A meltdown?

Yeah, man, yeah. Yeah, it is.

You work at the plant, man?

Is that how you know, huh?

Oh, man, my sister

goes to those rallies.

She'll be blown out...

I mean, really blown out.

When's the cloud come?

Within the hour.

What do we do?

Look, the streets

are gonna be completely jammed.

There's a helicopter rendezvous

down here at Wilshire...

that'll shuttle to the airport.

Listen, just wait here.

I have to go up

and get some people.

It'll just take a minute.

Where's the heliport?

Is it that mutual building?

I got to get

my sister Charlotta, man.

She can come with us,

can't she?

I got to get her, man.

I got to get her.

Honk the horn in four minutes,

OK? Four minutes.

I got to get her, man.

C-14.

Aw, sh*t.

Ivan?

Julie?

Anybody here?

Mrs. Peters?

Mrs. Peters,

it's Harry Washello.

You met me this afternoon.

Oh, why, you're

the fine swing man, Harry.

Yes, ma'am, that's right.

Where's Julie?

Well, she's dead to the world.

You better come back tomorrow.

- No, we've got to wake her up.

- Wait a minute.

You just tell me

what the hell's going on.

Mrs. Peters,

in a half an hour...

there's gonna be

a full-on nuclear attack.

The missiles

are on their way now.

L.A.'s gonna be a desert again

very soon.

- Why?

- I don't know why.

Listen, grab anything

you want to take.

We're going to the Mutual

Benefit Life building...

on Wilshire.

There's a helicopter there

that'll take us to the airport.

God.

I feel like Prince... somebody.

Let's go! Let's get

out of here, man! Come on!

Hold on! I'll be right there!

Sorry, man, I got to go.

Wait!

Julie, wake up.

Damn it! Pick up the phone!

Do you have a car, Mrs. Peters?

There's one down in the garage.

I haven't driven it for years.

I don't even know

where the keys are.

How long do we have?

About 15 to 20 minutes

before the chopper leaves.

Does she always sleep

this deep?

She took a valium.

Oh, you could give her

one of these diet pills...

kind of speed it up.

It'll make her sick,

but it'll wake her up.

I think

I'll just let her sleep.

I don't want her to know

until she has to.

Lucy, can you jog along with us?

Well, I'm elderly.

I'm not decrepit.

Lucy?

Ivan?

Aw, darling.

I think we better get going.

No, no. We'll get the car

and catch up with you.

5900 Wilshire.

What am I doing in this cart?

Did I sleep all day...

or is it the next night?

You didn't show.

The power went out in the hotel.

The alarm didn't work.

OK, could've happened.

You could've called.

I tried. It was too late.

Hey, you know, this thing

is kind of cutting into my leg.

Maybe you could just,

like, get me out of this.

OK, OK, OK.

Put your arm around my neck.

Here... here we go.

All right. OK, good.

- You OK?

- Yeah, but my leg's asleep.

- OK, come on.

- Wake up. Come on.

You'll be OK. Come on, let's go.

I know where we're going.

You do?

It's one of those

balloon rides, right?

Champagne brunch, wafting out

over L.A. at sunrise.

Sounds like something you'd

cook up, am I right? Huh?

Yeah, maybe.

With your luck,

it won't have any air in it.

You're probably right

about that.

Wait here.

She doesn't know yet,

and I don't think she should...

so let's just leave the car,

and we'll go up to the heliport.

It's right across the street.

No.

We're not going with you, Harry.

We want to savor our time

together if this is happening.

We're going to go to Lucy's

favorite place, Cantor's...

and I'm gonna have

the greasiest, fattest...

triple-bypass pastrami sandwich

they got.

Well, I'm going

to let him eat it.

This is so great.

This is so completely great!

I don't believe this.

We just want to say

good-bye, honey.

We love you.

You, too, Harry.

Well, wait. Wait, wait.

Where are you going?

- We got a lot to talk about.

- Lots of catching up to do.

You kids take care now.

- Ease off on the gas, Lucy.

- Oh, criminy!

For crying out loud, Lucy,

ease up!

Well, no, no, no.

I want... I want to go! Wait!

It's all right. They're

going to be fine. Come on.

How did they ever get together?

Tell me what's going on.

- Well...

- Come on.

It's a secret.

I want to spend some time

with them, Harry.

I want to talk with them.

What's the hurry?

I'll tell you

when we get up to the top, OK?

Where's the sable?

I don't know where the sable is!

Where are the hollow points?

You were supposed to bring

the hollow points!

Oh, God, just forget it.

Come on!
